- 20g pine nuts
- 15g chopped walnuts
- 20g grated parmesan
- 1 large garlic clove

- Put 40g chopped basil into a blender and blend, or crush in a pestle and mortar. Gradually add 20g pine nuts, 15g chopped walnuts, 20g grated Parmesan, 1 large garlic clove (chopped) and, finally, 80ml extra virgin olive oil. Season and blend till smooth.
